Snowmounding

sometimes when you're around people that are just so passionate about life, you become involved in their passionate excursions. my friend scott just discovered his new favorite hobby--snowmounding. what is snowmounding? well that's simple. imagine, if you will, driving along and spotting a parking lot with a huge pile snow left by many days of plowing said parking lot. OBVIOUSLY you begin to think to yourself about climbing said pile. so far, pretty ordinary. well scott decided to take it one step further--HE DID! and it's become a new winter sport around the office. scott has taken on the role of seeking out snow mounds and climbing them, while i have taken on the responsibility of documenting the excursions in video and photo form as well as gathering technical data about the location of the snow mound and weather. scott then takes the documentation i've gathered and updates what shall soon be called the pinnacle of snow mounding information, the official international snowmounding blog. it will be updated regularly with the latest information in snowmounding. we're also looking into getting the north face to sponsor us and outfit us in snowmounding equipment. we'll see how that goes.
